I sort of made this recipe for an Easter appetizer. The mussels were huge. I made 4 for the 2 of us. 1st, they were difficult to eat because the mussels were so big and they were a little tough even to cut; 2nd, the 'stuffing' fell out when 'fishing out the mussel; 3rd, they weren't very flavorful because you couldn't get all the 'stuff' in one bite. I didn't do the cucumber and used a little more lemon juice than called for.
